From the director's statement: In just the past six months, there were many mornings when I woke up to heartbreaking news all over the world about women being the victims of violence and rape, and also being failed or incriminated by the justice system. I often feel extremely helpless, not knowing what I can do. Anything feels insignificant for the ones losing their freedom, human rights, and lives. So I want to seek the answers by making films about women, and for women who struggle and who fight. I started to write this story earlier this year when the legislative restriction in the United States on abortion was limiting more and more women from proper health care.

How do you hold onto a home you’ve lost? Jp Allen returns to Sf Indie Fest with an answer in his contemplative feature, “Girl in Golden Gate Park.” In this elegantly slow film, two women teetering on the edge of eviction stumble into each other’s arms in the heart of San Francisco. Their housing distress brings them together — but it also tears them apart. Joni (Erin Mei-Ling Stuart) must come to terms with the challenges of accommodating even the most attractive of lovers (Kim Jiang) in her heart, rent-free.
We sit down with Jp Allen and his two leads over Zoom to talk about their work.
What attracted you all to this film?
Jp Allen: I wrote the script around three and a half years ago. The original script involved a heterosexual relationship, but the producer Cathy Montosa suggested that I consider different gender combinations. I thought that was very effective.
